BUZZ - Constellation Brands shares rise on strong quarterly performance
路透社2026/10/07 14:26Latest Updates October 7 - Constellation Brands (STZ.N) shares once rose by 3.96%, trading at $120.25. On Tuesday, the company reported second-quarter profit and sales figures that exceeded expectations, thanks to strong demand for beer products such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, which helped offset challenges facing the alcohol industry in a sluggish consumer environment. The company will pay $75 million upon closing to acquire the vodka-based ready-to-drink brand SpikedAde (RTD), and will make additional payments of up to $278 million over five years, depending on the brand’s performance and capital allocation priorities. “The acquisition of SpikedAde could be quite promising, even though the brand and category are still in their early stages,” said JPMorgan. BNP Paribas analyst Kevin Grundy noted that the acquisition gives new CEO Nick Fink an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to scale “growth areas.” During the earnings call, the company stated that if the positive trend in September continues, performance is expected to reach the upper end of the forecast range. As of the previous trading day’s close, the stock had fallen 16% year-to-date.

BUZZ - Preview: Levi's shares decline, market focuses on high-end jeans sales
On Wednesday, October 7, Levi Strauss (LEVI.N) shares fell 4.3% to $19.65 ahead of the company's quarterly earnings release after the market close. With consumer spending becoming more cautious, investors are closely watching the company's progress in entering the premium jeans market. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), the apparel manufacturer—known for its jeans and casual wear—is expected to report third-quarter revenue growth of about 5% year-on-year to $1.62 billion, with adjusted earnings per share at $0.36, higher than last year's $0.34. Last quarter, the company raised its annual sales forecast, betting that its premium jeans would attract high-income consumers, though its earnings outlook disappointed some investors. Jefferies, in a preview report, anticipated the third-quarter results would be "solid" given strong demand for jeans, and pointed out that the appointment of a new chief financial officer signals continued focus on future global growth. On September 30, Levi's announced the appointment of John Vandemore as chief financial officer, effective November 1, 2026; Vandemore previously worked at Skechers, where he served as corporate controller and led the global finance team for the past nine years. In response to this news, Levi's shares have declined about 5% year-to-date and approximately 20% over the past 12 months. Out of 16 brokerage firms, 13 rate the stock as "strong buy" or "buy," while 3 have it as "hold"; the median target price remains at $27, unchanged over the last three months.
